Fierami⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 105

8/1

Fair winner at 21f over hurdles but failed to match that level sent chasing last year, pulled up on his final 2 outings. Has a bit to prove after 5 months off on his first run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott.

Form: 084PP2-

Casa Tall^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Cobden| T: T R George| OR: 103

4/1

Three-time winner over fences but below his best in 2022/23. However, in first-time cheekpieces he took a step back in right direction at Perth (2m) in April, despite not managing to beat a rival. Can get back to winning ways dropped in grade with yard going well.

Form: 664U45-

Edmond Dantes²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Paula Smith| OR: 97| CD

22/1

Made a successful debut over fences at this C&D in February last year and had been holding his form well until running poorly at Newcastle on Boxing Day. Fared no better following a break at Hexham last month, so others preferred on first run for yard after leaving Ruth Jefferson.

Form: 22/427-4

Dindin^b,t¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 95| D

10/1

Had a busy season last term and resumed winning ways in a race that panned out well for him at Wincanton (20.2f) in March. Placed both starts the following month but ran one of his lesser races at Ffos Las 13 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 23123-4

Finalshot^h¹⁵⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 90

6/1

Regained the winning thread in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in September but form has been in and out since. Back over fences, failed to back up his previous effort when pulled up at Doncaster (26f) when last seen in January.

Form: U1538P-

Marajman^p,t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: R T Dunne| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 88| D

3/1

With a visor applied and tongue strap left off, again ran below form when fifth in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) 25 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark with tongue strap and cheekpieces back on, but others more persuasive.

Form: 2233P-5

High Noon^p¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 85| CD

13/2

Won twice here (including over C&D) back in early-2021/22, but below that level in a light campaign last season. However, after 12 months off he showed that he retains his ability when third of 5 at this C&D last time. Could get involved having dropped further in the weights.

Form: 44/433-3

Eurowork^b1⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 81| D

5/1

Off the mark in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f) in December 2021, but well beaten over fences on his first 3 starts last season. Again finished down the field switched to hurdles last time, so first-time blinkers need to spark a revival returned to chasing.

Form: 61/5750-

Forecasts

Marajman (3/1), Casa Tall (4/1), Eurowork (5/1), Finalshot (6/1), High Noon (13/2), Fierami (8/1), Dindin (10/1), Edmond Dantes (22/1)

CASA TALL took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces at Perth last time, unable to sustain his effort, so he can build on that run to return to winning ways dropped in grade. The main danger could be dual course winner High Noon, who shaped well after 12 months off back at this C&D 18 days ago, with Dindin completing the shortlist.
